Thanks as usual for all the love on my videos the past months! If you don't wanna miss the Technique Fundamentals I mentioned in the video (and all my other courses), be sure to check out www.playwithaplan.com 🧖‍♂❤

The fastest way to improve is to have clear goals, defined paths to those goals, and the discipline to stick to it.

A Guthrie Govan soundbite from a few months ago “if you sound good when you’re practising you’re not practising the right stuff”

[biharcourt]

I've unintentionally tried that last one before and it did work. I just noticed that I could play it better the next day after thinking about it while I was falling asleep

Great video. I think your bringing some important ideas of learning how to learn and how this can translate to guitar. These skills can be applied to anything in life. This is also gives context to guitar players like myself who get frustrated with progress.

I do a LOT of technique work, so there’s a great deal of sheer muscle-memory I can rely on. But what I DON’T do very often — at least on guitar — is to push myself out of my comfort zone, to play in that 20% zone you talked about. So that’s what I’ll be working on for the next few months.

IF you're a very experienced player it's def good to get/Stay out of your comfort zone. For beginners, you have to build a comfort zone before you can get out of it.

My real struggle is remembering all the songs and licks i learn

4. Muscle Memory.. only way I can see improvement in my technique when train same very small pattern switching between different positions and going back to the primary one.. not just doing it over and over in a single position.. I guess it gives the muscles and brain constant flow of surprise and challenge.. more wide room for development of a single micromovement.. can't explain, but I'm curious what science says about it..

Hey man, I would absolutely love if you made a lesson for that section of music you always play in your intro. Also on how to get that really full, rich and atmospheric tone

[Keith-tzjy]

I get unbelievable frustrated and can't play slow and totally no nothing about reading music. So it's not worth my time
